Data Centers and diesel generator use
 

Rules governing data centers are very weak or non-existent at this time.  Don't dilute one that is already in place related to diesel generators.  Continue to restrict their use to only "unforeseen power outages".  If you allow the proposed change to "planned outages", air quality will most assuredly suffer.
